Today’s alcohol #DutyReceipts, which show receipts in January lower for spirits, wine & beer than in January 2025, will come as no surprise to UK wine & spirits businesses who continue to see consumers spending less as a result of some of the highest excise duty rates in Europe.

Miles Beale, Chief Executive, The Wine and Spirit Trade Association comments on the alcohol duty increases announced at the Autumn Budget. #WSTA #Budget25 #DutyIncrease

People like Ben at Puddingstone Distillery are more than just distillers - they're at the heart of their communities. That's why @campfiregin has joined calls for a complete excise duty freeze for spirits in tomorrow's Budget to protect jobs and investment.

Would love your support @TweetingCollins

Three in ten pubs say they may not survive another year if costs increase. Pubs are more than pints; if the Chancellor is serious about supporting them, she must freeze excise duty at the Budget. thesun.co.uk/news/politics/…

Even as a small supposedly exempt business we are charged for the packaging our pallets of bottles arrive in. It’s not sustainable for us to absorb the cost but customers cannot afford the increases either if we were to pass them on @TweetingCollins

Staggered that our ICO fee has gone up £12 this year & for what for? To pay for staff salary increases? Another stealth tax on small business. No pay rise for us as business owners 😫 @TweetingCollins #DataProtection

@TweetingCollins Not forgetting the rising costs of spirits and wine due to 2 years of unnecessary alcohol duty hikes which are crippling producers.

"[Our fantastic local pubs, cafes and restaurants] are being punished by a government blocking their pathway to prosperity, with their unfair National Insurance hike, which disproportionately impacts the hospitality sector." hemeltoday.co.uk/community/poli…

@KitchenCroxley @RachelReevesMP She doesn’t seem to understand that business owners ARE also working people 🤦‍♀️ and that hospitality isn’t just pubs, it’s also those that are in the supply chain.

The irony of the piece on #hospitality being #taxedout followed by @RachelReevesMP smiling & grinning as she makes out things are getting better for working people. Does she have any idea what she’s done to us? #NICS #VAT #NLW #ENICS #BBCBreakfast

Thank you @carolynharris24 for welcoming distillers @BrightonGin, @campfiregin, @MasonsGin, @iowdistillery, @rivetdistillery, @PenderynWhisky, @HalewoodSpirits, @AKDISTILLERYLTD to Parliament to showcase their craft.

@TheGinasium Aah thank you. Have a great Christmas and good luck with your barrel aging

All food and drink shopping is now complete 👍🏻 I also had a lovely spirits geek chat with Ben of @campfiregin at their distillery and shop this morning as I collected a bottle of Gin I bought online. It's always such a welcoming place to visit 🍸

Not only are pubs and distillers taking the hit from the Tory's 10.1% duty hike, but the @hmtreasury has lost over £300m and counting. Ahead of the budget, UKSA members @campfiregin, @rivetdistillery and @thamesisdock have been making the case to reverse the hike. #BackSpirits

In @TweetingCollins maiden speech the new MP praised the enterprising spirit of gin distillers in Harpenden & Berkhamsted. We were delighted to welcome her to Puddingstone Distillery to meet @campfiregin founders Ben and Kate to discuss the UKSA Budget submission. #BackSpirits🍸

@TheGinasium @gin_a_ding_ding We absolutely love that quote. Can we put it out there for all to see. PS we’ve sent you a message about your order.

@campfiregin @gin_a_ding_ding Humpday be gone! I can attest to the pure moreishness of the @campfiregin aged cacao Gin. It is well-balanced. Don't hate me... but I would describe it as having the aroma of a Fry's chocolate cream bar but with a full-on aged juniper centre of loveliness ♥️ 🍸

With distillery closures taking place alongside exciting new releases, and plenty of work and play too, there’s lots to catch up on in my June Gin Monthly… ginadingding.com/2024/07/02/jun…

@TheGinasium Awesome enjoy ☺️ 🍸

Road trip!!!! @campfiregin #worldginday

@TheGinasium Cheers🍸👍

Off to a great start... #worldginday #worldgindaybingo @campfiregin

Today's ONS release shows that alcoholic drinks CPI is running at nearly three times the headline rate of 2.3%. August's record duty increases continue to drive inflation. #ONS #WSTA #Inflation #WineAndSpirits @ONS
